Zucchini Orange Date Nut Bread - Dee Dee's image

If you don't care for Zucchini, this moist and delicious bread may just change your mind! It did mine! When I was still working, an elderly customer that I was very fond of would come in the bank and share gardening tips and recipes with me. This is a recipe that she shared with me and boy am I glad she did! Use coconut oil...

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggs
1 c cooking oil (or 3/4 cup) (i used 3/4 cup coconut oil)
1 1/2 c sugar (or 1 cup honey) (i used 1 cup honey)
IF YOU USE HONEY, USE THE LESSOR AMOUNT OF COOKING OIL
1 3/4 c zucchini, unpeeled and grated
2 Tbsp orange peel (zest)
1/4 c orange juice, fresh
1 c dates, chopped
1 c nuts, chopped (i used walnuts)
1 tsp vanilla
3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, cooking oil and sugar together until creamy and well blended; add zucchini, orange peel, orange juice, dates, nuts and vanilla; mix well. Set aside.
  • 3. Stir the flour mixture into the creamy ingredients. Stir until well blended
  • 4. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; pour in the batter and bake for about 45 minutes or until well done. IT TOOK ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS IN MY OVEN! My oven is new. So, just make sure it's done before removing from oven. I used a cake tester to test, tested until it came out clean. You can use a toothpick for same results.
  • 5. NOTE: When I poured the ingredients in the pan, I was certain this batter would rise and run over in to the oven so I placed a piece of aluminum foil under the pan in case it did. It did rise about 1-inch over the top of pan, but it didn't run over. Perhaps this could be put into 2 loaf pans and baked for 45 minutes.
  • 6. Serving suggestions: Spread with cream cheese to serve.

MOIST DATE NUT BREAD



Moist Date Nut Bread image

A moist not too sweet version of a figgy pudding but made with dates and minus the spices. You could try covering with buttered foil and steaming it for a even moister version. This can also be baked in a (28 ounce) can.

DATE NUT BREAD

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pitted chopped dates
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3/4 cup boiling water
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3 inch loaf pan.
  • Put the dates, walnuts, baking soda, salt and shortening in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over and stir. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes.
  • Using a fork, beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add the flours and stir; the batter will be too stiff to mix well. Add the date mixture and mix briskly until the batter is well blended. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Check the loaf often; it is done when a few moist crumbs cling to a straw inserted in the middle of the loaf. The bread will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven. Do not overbake, or the loaf will be dry.
  • When the loaf is done, slide a knife around the edges of the pan and turn the loaf onto a rack to cool completely. This bread freezes well.
